ATTACHMENT FOR PENS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 7, 1908.

Application filed December 8, 1908. Serial No. 848,910.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Join: WINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Pens, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to ens and more particularly to attachment or same which are adapted to hold a supply of ink. These and other ob'ects of ihe invention are more full set fort 1 in the followin s ecification Mlt the appended claims, and il ustrated in the accom anyin drawings where it will be seen that like re erence characters are used to designate the same parts in the various figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a en from the under side showing my im rove attachment. Fig. '2 is a ongitu inal sectional view of the pin and the attachment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the attachment.

in the use of writin pens particularly those of a large size and w ere a large pen is used in writing the records of other manuscript the difficulty has been in securing a en with a large concavity near its point w 'ch will hold the necessary suppl of ink and it is with this object in view t rat the present invention is intended.

The invention consists of a triangular piece of thin metal curved from its point towards the rear, the point coinciding with the point of the pen 11 and at the extreme rear of the curved face 12 and from the line 13 the attachment slopes backward and upward in a plane face 14. From the face 14 extend two ips or fingers 15 which are intended to emb race the edges of the pen at its widest portion.

As will be seen in Fig. 2 the inclined face 14 approaches the body of the pen so as to form a chamber 16 to contain the supply of ink and partly inclose it to keep the same from being spilt or lost.

It is obvious that the angle of the lips 15 may be varied to conform with any style of pen or likewise the width of the attachment may be varied for the same purpose, also the angle of the face 14 may be varied to admit of more or loss ink to the chamber 16 as the pen is dipped into the ink stand.

A desirable feature in this invention is that the attachment may be made oi some noncorrosive material and applied to any pen so that as one pen wears out it can be attached to a new pen so that it will last for a long time.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A fountain attachment for pens comprising a plate having a tapering concaveconvex tongue to bear under and against the nibs of the pen, and having a broadened plane portion bent at an oblique angle up: wardly and rear-wardly from the rear edge oi said tongue and tapered longitudinally to ht between and bear against the sides of the pen in rear of the nibs, whereby the tongue and oblique portion when applied form with the adjacent parts of the pen an ink reservoir whose greatest depth is at the angle of intersection between such parts of the attachment.

2. A fountain attachment for Ipens comprising a plate having a taperei. concaveoonvex tongue to bear under and against the nibs of the pen, and havin a broadened plane portion bent at an oblique angle upwardly and rearwardly from the rear edge oisaid tongue and tapered longitudinally to ht between and bear against the sides of the pen in rear of the nibs, said plane ortion being formed at its side edges with diverging longitudinal flanges adapted to be bent outwardly and upwardly to engage the lower edges of the sides of the pen.

3. In combination with a pen, a fountain attachment comprising a plate having a topered concavo-oonvex tongue bearing against the underside of the nibs of the pen, and hav ing a broadened rear portion extending up wardly between the sides of the pen at. an oblique angle and tapered longitudinally to conform to the internal contour of the side walls of the pen body, whereby an ink reservoir is formed between the attachment and nibs and adjacent ortion of the body of the pen, said reservoir eing deepest at the 'uncture of the body ortion of the pen with the nibs and the iortlons of the attachment with each other, t 1e side edges of the oblique end portion of the attachment. being provided with flanges bent outwardly and upwardly to engage the side edges of the body of the pen.

n testimony whereof, I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
